Upon receiving your tapes or videos, our experienced technicians evaluate their condition for sticky shed syndrome (SSS) to make sure they can be played. If the material is exhibiting SSS, we carefully treat your tape with a technical process to eliminate the problem. We then clean the tape to remove any loose oxide, dust or foreign particles. After a thorough cleaning, we transfer the videotape to your requested format. We then check the transferred file to assure its quality.

At VideoTapeTransfers.tv, we provide the best quality in 2″ Quadruplex (2″ Quad) transfers. Our unique tape restoration, transfer, and digitization process results in distinctly sharp and focused results, whether your assets are black & white or in color. Because of the fragile nature of these distinctive, but aging 2″ tapes, (some older than 50 years), our experienced technicians take only the utmost care in handling tape transfers. All evaluations are completed in a controlled environment so we can monitor every detail of the process. Once the transfer is successfully completed, we contact you for further shipping, labeling and delivery instructions.

1″ Type C tape was popular from 1976 to the early 1990’s because it offered the advantages of requiring less floor space, energy and maintenance. The longevity of 1″ Type C tape is moderate and equipment longevity also falls in the moderate to low category. For transfer and digitization, we use Sony and Ampex VTRs and TBCs for superior quality. When converted to a digital file we remaster the video and audio including image restoration and color correction. We can also enhance audio or eliminate background distractions, improve audio levels and equalize the program for a more synchronized fluid playback.

Carefully preserved and stored footage of videotaped programming is priceless. For long-term storage, nothing protects your assets like having digital master files. Whether its VHS, Betamax or DVCAM, we have the broadcast decks and the equipment including Panasonic VTRs, Sony VTRs and TBCs that can give breathe new life into old programming.We can professionally clean and transfer or digitize your video tape or tape recordings to the following formats:
